central to the Native American group, 

including any constituent sub-group 

(such as a band, clan, lineage, 

ceremonial society, or other 

subdivision).

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Oglala Sioux Tribe.

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in ADDRESSES. 

Requests for repatriation may be 

submitted by any lineal descendant, 

Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian

evidence, that the requestor is a lineal 

descendant or a culturally affiliated 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after March 25, 2024. If competing
